The sun sets in the western horizon, the saffron bushes, where the nightingales rest to shine by the golden rays of the setting sun with paddy and petals of fragrant flowers dancing in the breeze and birds returning to their nests, rain drops started falling. In the cold evening for a moment, I went back to my sweet memories of the nineteen years of my career.
I was appointed as an assistant teacher on 12th February in 1997. In 1997, there were around 300 students and 15 teachers. Year by Year the number of students and teachers have been increasing. Presently, there are 70 staffs and 1000 students. Our school had a very humble beginning. It was earlier called “Lima Aier Memorial School” which was later renamed as ‘Lima Aier Higher Secondary School.’ Since its upgradation to Higher Secondary (Arts) level in 2009 our school has earned a good name and a lot of fame through consistent good HSLC and HSSLC results over the years. I am happy and proud to be associated with this school for such a long time.
Looking back at those eighteen years of my career, I feel happy and proud. Our students are really hard working and studious. They are very good in co-curricular activities. I still remember almost all the students I had taught for the past eighteen years. I love and admire them for their sincerity and hard work, as well as the love and respect they have shown me and my colleagues all these years. I take this opportunity to congratulate all the students who have brought excellent results for this school, year after year.
It gives me immense pleasure that many of my former students and alumni of this school are well settled with exciting careers. Among them, three of my former students, Miss Toshimenla, Miss Rongsenlemla and Miss Yarila Longchar are my colleagues now. How fast time has passed by! I am so happy to see them back in this school as teachers.
I also remember all the parents who have been understanding and cooperative with us, the teachers, in shaping the life of their little children put under our care. The youngest Noble laureate, Malala Yousafzai said, “One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world”. Let us change the world together.
Every school does a lot for the academic career of its students but only few bother about the spiritual growth of its students. Unless a child is trained in the “Divine way”, he or she cannot find success in his/her life. No doubt, our school is one of the rare schools where Spiritual growth of the children is taken very seriously, so that they can walk in the path that God wants them to take. Our school has strived hard to give all-around development to all the students since its inception because we believe God has given us this responsibility. I remember all the dedicated teachers, those who have left the school and those who are still serving, in my prayers. Dear teachers, your love and dedication towards this school will never go in vain. God will bless you and provide all your needs. I will always cherish the special bonding and unity we shared among us.
Lastly, I wish to convey my heartfelt gratitude to our Sir, Dr. Maongwati Aier, and Madam Imtila Aier Founder for their love and concern all these years. It was only their faith in God and commitment to their mission that has brought great blessings upon this school and their lives. May the good Lord bless you and the school with greater success. Dear children, I have a message for you. “Be wise, making the most of every opportunities because the days are evil. Even a small error may endanger our lives.”
